[Q] HTC Vivid Screen Black - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hello, today I slipped and fell and my HTC Vivid seemed to have taken the fall pretty hard because whenever I turn it on its screen is completely black, but it theres streaks of white on the bottom. It almost looks as if a nail of white is on the bottom when I turn on the phone. Any ideas to get my screen working again?

Thanks for telling me. How much do you think it'd cost to repair?

Lcd/digitizer combo is easiest fix & goes for anywhere between $50-65 on ebay and the time it takes to fix.
Or you can be adventurous and just buy the lcd only. Costs $30-35 and a lil more time.

Its more like $40 for LCD digitizer combo.. At least it was when I replaced mine lol

lcd dead
You lcd is broken.
You should check if the phone is reconigzed by a computer. Changing the lcd screen is a challenging task, but if you are patient you can do it.

What are you doing for the glue on the digitizer?
Sent from my R800x using XDA
If you need a replacement volume rocker try looking for broken Xplays on ebay. There could be a good chance that the volume rocker is good and just a broken screen, or something.

Thanks. I'm looking for a white housing for conversion.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
You linked up the same one I bought, Just dont replace the middle housing with the speakers and L1 R1 buttons, Use the same housing that came with your r800x , I found out the hard way... After re housing my phone Ive been without service on my device, theres a piece on the middle housing that is needed for the r800x to pick up on Verizons service. But you have the right item in your original post, sorry for long delay, I got pretty sick :/

I was able to remove the piece from one middle housing and put it on the other . I post some photos soon I wanna post a write on it all so other users can do this without all the hassle since I found out the hard way. But ill share you some pics here shortly, I got a few people I need to get some info out to also , I need to get caught up on my android work!
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Check out the first photo where the back of the middle plate has a black sticker on it, that black sticker on the other side of it is a gold ribbon that goes into the housing and makes contact with two pins on the bottom end of the mother board.
The second photo is the replacement I ordered from the same link you posted in your OP. You could buy the one you linked and peel back the black sticker and super glue it back to the replacement middle housing, which is what I did because the back of the L1 and R1 are white on the new housing and the Verizon triggers are black on the back, looks better in white and in picture three I think I did a pretty decent job even though the photo does it no justice, and minus my thumb print!

Self screen replacement

I just dropped my phone. Smashed the screen. I'm wondering how many people have attempted to get the screen fixed for how much. Or if I should do it myself.
Such a bummer. Still owe 200$ on it to.

I replaced my digitizer screen. It wasn't that complicated but it does take time.
I recommend parts4repair.com they sell parts for all brands of smart/superphones out there right now. I broke the screen on my Incredible S, well the digitizer. Got a new one for $20 CAD. replaced it myself (did take a month to ship) and was good to go. Parts were great,got a little tool kit with all the wee torx bits. Check it out!
Ii already voided warranty with s-off
There's a guy in my city that will replace digitizer for 90 can or 130 if LCD is cracked also.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
He says it will take 1-3 business days. I assume cuz he has to get the part
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I work at a repairshop and I have done several digitizer replacements on the VIVID, its a little tricky since you will have to lift up the upper part of the LCD, or remove the LCD entirely. Doing so increases the chance of you breaking the LCD and then you will have to replace both screens. If you dont have a good heat gun and the right tools, you should take it to someone with experience.
I watched a tear down. While a probably could do it. I think your right. I'll just pay to get it fixed.

Yeah Nevermind, screens from the source are expensive. I'm used to seeing small charges from the usb ports dying out of warranty not screen repair

Seems like something is inside my phone

Took a picture earlier and I noticed there is something odd looking towards the top part of any pictures I take. Even shows up when I have the camera up.
Time for warranty I suppose.
See attached.

Get it replaced. Seems like an issue with the magic eye of the lens. It's probably damaged or a dirt got inside your phone and made it's way to the eye.
Or could you try to lightly tap the phone in your palm? It might get off the eye also but of course it's still there inside so kinda annoying.

I do, but they are doing a warranty exchange. Should have the new one tomorrow.

Just got my One back from repair.

So I just got my phone back from repair for a broken screen. The repair totaled 189.99. I was however quite surprised that they seemed to replace the entire outer body of the phone. The back was scratched and the speaker bezels had a few nicks in them. All was replaced and my phone now actually has the magical zero gap shiz they talk about. I know its still my phone cause the serial is the same and it came back with ViperRom still on it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Just wonder if they put a new shell on it because they messed it up taking the old one off? Good deal though, you got your screen fixed and new shell.

Yes, I'd be curious of which facility was it sent to, also?
And may I ask the OP, did you send it from somewhere in the US?

I sent my phone to Houston, TX and it came back with scratches on the back and a bad power button. The gap was worsened.
Still my phone, probably a new back though.
